Sourav's Blog http://blog.raysourav.com Just another WordPress weblog Sat, 07 Aug 2010 11:50:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 en hourly 1 What am I up to? http://blog.raysourav.com/2010/08/what-am-i-up-to/ http://blog.raysourav.com/2010/08/what-am-i-up-to/#comments Sat, 07 Aug 2010 11:46:32 +0000 Sourav Ray http://blog.raysourav.com/?p=34

On March 31st I left Burrp and since April 10 I am working with an early stage startup, call June Software. I have moved from Mumbai to Pune (although still have the possession of the rented flat in mumbai) to join June.

June has an ambitious team of iPhone developers, who are trying to make big money at app-store. At June so far we have tried out our luck with Trivia/Reference/Utility/Educational apps. Our next stop could be 2D/3D gaming, social gaming or anything that could make us rich (don’t know if that attitude can really make us rich).

My personal projects have not made much progress since I last time mentioned them in my post .  I cannot find much time after my day job, so readerstub release has been delayed.  I have scraped campaing.ly (a SAAS product that already got some ready to buy customers) because of Twitter’s new policy against commercial tweets.   I hope soon  I’ll able to post some release news on the blog.

I will also start blogging  regularly and this time I will talk more about noSQL database than PHP.  I’ll not talk much about Objective C and Cocoa because it may violate my employment terms.

Now I can descide who will be my friend’s friend http://blog.raysourav.com/2010/05/facebook-horrified-me-again-now-i-can-descide-who-will-be-my-friends-frend/ http://blog.raysourav.com/2010/05/facebook-horrified-me-again-now-i-can-descide-who-will-be-my-friends-frend/#comments Wed, 05 May 2010 14:44:11 +0000 Sourav Ray http://blog.raysourav.com/?p=23 I saw people set the alarm on the TechCrunch about a Security hole on FB.  The team FB responded very quickly and shut down the chat  service . Just by inquisition I try to dig a bit more and what I have found is absolutely shocking. If you watch the TC video closely,  then you can remember that you can see the list of Friend Request sent to Your friend’s. In the TC video they show that you cannot response to the Friend Request anyway. My observation tells a different story, that if you click on the Friends photo to land into his/her profile then you can see his/her FR list and also confirm the requests. Confirming these Friend Request will not add them to your friend list (May be I have added them on my friends Friend List).

“Sorry Aman &  Jagdish , I have experimented with you accounts for a novel cause. Here is the video.“

Note: I had no friend request pending in my FB account at the time screen video had been taken

Today is my last day working at Burrp. I’ve been working at Burrp for almost two years now . During the past year I’ve contributed mostly as a data-mining  guy.

I’ll miss all the smart people at Burrp and I will continue to be in touch with them.

What will I do next?  Certainly I’m on a sabbatical vacation, but will  back in action  soon.  I have some plans and few job offers in hand,  but  I need some time to ponder over it.

As for my future plans… readerstub and campaingly will be live soon. May be start working on argu.in again.

Since last week I took lot of decisions. Couple of them was difficult to take, but this was an easy one. I got the domain almost a year ago and since then it is parked on my server.  Finally I crack the energy barrier.

My intentions are to use this blog more like personal diary than a megaphone. My previous blog was just a lab journal, but here I will talk about everything that I think or feel.
